It applied the code as if it had worked ie. showed me the “new” skin & expected vbucks but the only actual change was the additional 500 that come with the pack. Really only tried it as I’d got the Bomber code with a new DS4 and if it had worked it would more or less double up on vbucks for the kid. I’ll try it with the Deep Freeze next time I need some bucks, I’ll have to get a few though as the Bomber pack is the only one I’ve had.
There’s apparently a code that you can share with your friends, it should be on the top of the screen when you’re in your created island?

I’d have to look up the drop rate but anecdotally it feels like the new shotgun is too common; while I see the drumgun is mad, it at least seems a little harder to find.
My experience is: get to top 5, the only gun being used is the combat shotgun.

Surprised on the combat shotgun comments. I’d say it’s more “overpowered” than the drumgun - it’s too common, too fast & too hard hitting in my opinion.
This is from a player that would always take an smg over a shotgun though. Still, in maybe 20 games since the update, the vast majority of my deaths have been to it. That’s apart from the VRs, of course

Yeah it’s alright, there’s a good game struggling to get out I’d say, but you hit a ceiling of progression quite quickly and without other friends playing it, you’ll struggle to get any deeper into it. If it’s important though, it will easily pay for itself in terms of vbucks within a few weeks.

Accidentally bagged a zero kill vr today, was in and out of the room at the same time as making a sandwich & tea, just moving with the storm but managed to stick around for the last 2 mins. Last guy raining down rockets on me & all I could do was build, nipped under a cliff, he came down to finish me but not before I clipped him with a purple shotgun, his last spammed rocket was just a touch too close to his own feet

I enjoyed the redeploy and in the whole think it was better than without, but as above it’s fairly marginal and a simple change is/was good. That’s what makes the game and Epic great.
Plus, after splattering myself in the first game after the update without reading the patch notes, I bagged some easy elims and VR’s in the first few hours thanks to people making the same mistake as me
PS food fight is rubbish!
